    Hi guys,

    Gooch is currently having a hard time in Belgium. With his two collected red cards, he could be off the field for a while.


    I would like you to show he's not a lost, lone American stuck in Belgium and he's still supported and followed by his USA peers.


    If you could write down a few words at this address: onyewusupport@hotmail.com
    signed by your first name and your state, it would be great


    I will make sure to have them printed & shipped this week-end at his Liege home.


    Bruce, your participation would be really appreciated.


    Thank you,
    OKell

    It's great that you're doing this.

    Here's part of an interview with Gooch from Oct. 29, where he gives his thoughts about the suspensions:

    http://www.dhnet.be/index.phtml?content=http://www.dhnet.be/dhsports/article.phtml?id=132971

    "Oguchi Onyewu, you are at last going to play the match [Mouscron] for which you were suspended..."

    "Exactly. It's hard for me to accept the fact that the Committee maintained my suspension of two weeks following my expulsion against GBA [Germinal-Beerschot]. I hoped for a little clemency on their part because I don't believe I did anything. Only the members of the Committee think that I committed the act willfully. For me, it's really unfair. I'm even convinced that the player for GBA knows that I didn't commit a malicious act in the encounter. At the end of the match, the referee even told me that he believed me."


    Sport.be doesn't sound too hopeful about his chances of winning an appeal:

    http://www.sport.be/fr/jupilerleague/0506/ploegennieuws/?comp=2304

    "Standard and Onyewu are attempting the impossible so that the defender can participate in the clash against Anderlecht. The two parties will each go to appeal the two match suspension inflicted on the American following his expulsion against G. Beerschot. Onyewu is moreover already waiting for a sanction for his expulsion against Genk."

    Dear Bruce,
    please don't let Eddie Pope become next years Jeff Agoos. Also, lay off the hot pockets.

    Regards, Jeff Agoos.

    Wow, I googled "Bruce Arena" to find a picture to compare him to Alf. Look at the mamcita who appears in the first link.

    Guy is twenties, college grad, six foot who the heck knows, playing football for a living in Europe, on the national team radar, likely headed to a WC and I'm supposed to send him a get-well, keep-your-head-up card 'cause he's gonna have a few weeks enforced vacation?

    If Gooch doesn't have the intestinal fortitude for that, he'll be playing for the Galaxy in no time.

    I'll save my sop e-mails for vets, widows and orphans.

    just call me scrooge!

    can't believe it took until response #15 for someone to comment on the ridiculousness of this.

    More than 70 people sent their support, thank you.

    Keep it on.



    Useless and full of frustration.

    It's not easy, when your whole life relies on the competition to be benched during more than a month.

    There is, indeed little, a risk to have him outta starting eleven for a while.

    Gooch can be disappointed because that's the kind of experience that made him screw up his French experience 3 years ago.

    This is exactly like what happened at Metz, except Standard is top of table, Gooch is a lock starter for a couple seasons now, Gooch is going to play in Scotland and Standard will, if the hype is correct, be weaker without him. A drag, sure. The level of Blue Mountain e-cards? Not quite.

    It's all fine and dandy to grab the pompoms and jump around like George Bush in Flemish drag, but are you really surprised I found it a bit absurd?

    Freisland, maybe you should set up an email account, collect comments from the BigSoccer stoics, and send him a "get over it you big pv$$y" BlueMountain card just so he doesn't get too soft on us.
